  • the present invention relates to storage systems. More specifically but not exclusively, it relates to storage systems having storage bins in stacks, the stacks being located with a grid structure.
  • One known type of system for the storage and retrieval of items in multiple product lines involves arranging storage bins or containers in stacks on top of one another, the stacks being arranged in rows.
  • the storage bins or containers are accessed from above by load handling devices, removing the need for aisles between the rows and allowing more containers to be stored in a given space.
  • ⁇ 13 discloses a mechanism for removing a plurality of stacked containers, using a robotic load handler in the form of a rectangular tube which is lowered around the stack of containers, and which is configured to be able to grip a container at any level in the stack. In this way, several containers can be lifted at once from a stack.
  • the movable tube can be used to move several containers from the top of one stack to the top of another stack, or to move containers from a stack to an external location and vice versa.
  • Such systems can be particularly useful where all of the containers in a single stack contain the same product (known as a single-product stack).
  • the height of the tube has to be as least as high as the height of the largest stack of containers, so that that the highest stack of containers can be extracted in a single operation. Accordingly, when used in an enclosed space such as a warehouse, the maximum height of the stacks is restricted by the need to accommodate the tube of the load handler.
